Not right now, sorry. Between my mothers death, and my cat having
congestive heart failure + kidney failure (he's going to live), I'm now
600 odd emails behind. =( I was hoping to get started soon, but I don't
know if that will reasonably happen.
My plan had been to take mailx and throw a curses interface on it first.
Then maybe rewrite in C++ for a good test. =)

Gtk has a nice visual layout package which helps alot. You still need to
code a bit of X crap, but not nearly as much.
